'''Newark Liberty International Airport'''{{efn|Originally '''Newark Metropolitan Airport''' and later '''Newark International Airport'''; colloquially '''Newark Airport'''.}} {{airport codes|EWR|KEWR|EWR}} is a major [[international airport]] serving the [[New York metropolitan area]]. The airport straddles the boundary between the cities of [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]] in [[Essex County, New Jersey|Essex County]] and [[Elizabeth, New Jersey|Elizabeth]] in [[Union County, New Jersey|Union County]], in the U.S. state of [[New Jersey]]. Located approximately {{convert|4.5|mi}} south of [[downtown Newark]] and {{convert|9|mi|km}} west-southwest of [[Manhattan]], it is a major gateway to destinations in Europe, South America, Asia, and Oceania. It is jointly owned by the two cities, and the airport itself is leased to its operator, the [[Port Authority of New York and New Jersey]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.panynj.gov/about/pdf/property-owned-leased-port-authority.pdf|title=Property owned and leased by the Port Authority|publisher=Port Authority of New York and New Jersey|date=January 16, 2015|access-date=October 20, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160105104049/http://www.panynj.gov/about/pdf/property-owned-leased-port-authority.pdf|archive-date=January 5, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> It is the second-busiest airport in the [[Aviation in the New York metropolitan area|New York airport system]] behind [[John F. Kennedy International Airport]] and ahead of [[LaGuardia Airport]].

The airport is near the [[Newark Airport Interchange]], the junction between both [[Interstate 95 in New Jersey|Interstate 95]] and [[Interstate 78 in New Jersey|Interstate 78]] (both of which are components of the [[New Jersey Turnpike]]), and [[U.S. Routes 1 and 9]], which has junctions with [[U.S. Route 22 in New Jersey|U.S. Route 22]], [[New Jersey Route 81|Route 81]], and [[New Jersey Route 21|Route 21]]. [[AirTrain Newark]] connects the terminals with the [[Newark Liberty International Airport Station|Newark Liberty International Airport Railway Station]]. The station is served by NJ Transit's [[Northeast Corridor Line]] and [[North Jersey Coast Line]]. [[Amtrak]]'s ''[[Northeast Regional]]'' and ''[[Keystone Service]]'' routes also make stops at the station.

The City of Newark built the airport on {{convert|68|acre|ha}} of marshland in 1928, and the [[United States Army Air Corps|Army Air Corps]] operated the facility during [[World War II]]. The airport was constructed adjacent to [[Port Newark]] and [[U.S. Route 1]]. After the Port Authority took over the facility in 1948, an instrument runway, a terminal building, a [[control tower]], and an air cargo center were constructed. The airport's [[Newark Metropolitan Airport Buildings|Building One]] from 1935 was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1980.

During 2022, the airport served 43.4 million passengers, which made it the [[List of the busiest airports in the United States|13th-busiest airport in the nation]], and the [[List of busiest airports by passenger traffic|23rd-busiest airport]] in the world. The busiest year to date was 2023, when it served 49.1 million passengers. Newark Liberty International serves 50 carriers, and is the largest hub for [[United Airlines]] by available seat miles. The airline serves about 63% of passengers at EWR, making it the largest tenant at the airport. United and [[FedEx Express]], its second-largest tenant, operate in three buildings covering approximately {{Convert|2|e6sqft|km2|sp=us}} of airport property.

==History==
In the 1920s, [[Newark, New Jersey]], was the site of two airfields: Heller Field, which opened in 1919,<ref>{{cite news|title=First Mail Leaves Air Terminus Here|url=http://newarkbusiness.org/photos/transportation/displayimage.php?album=52&pid=631#top_display_media|date=December 8, 1919|newspaper=[[Newark Evening News]]|access-date=August 24, 2022|archive-date=November 28, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221128191448/http://newarkbusiness.org/photos/transportation/displayimage.php?album=52&pid=631#top_display_media|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[Hadley Field]], which opened in 1924,{{sfn|Lurie|Mappen|2004|p=342}} that were used by the [[United States airmail service]].

In May 1921, Heller Field was closed and all air mail services moved to Hadley Field, which by 1927 also served four airlines. The [[U.S. Postal Service]], however, desired to have an airfield closer to New York City.{{sfn|Holden|2009|p=7}} In 1927, people and organizations, both national and local in scope, began calling for a new airport in the area of Newark,{{sfn|Holden|2009|p=7}}<ref>{{cite news|title=Airport Rivalry, New York and Newark|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/108198157/airport-rivalry-new-york-and-newark/|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=July 2, 1927|newspaper=[[Courier-Post]]|page=4|access-date=August 24, 2022|archive-date=August 24, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220824121516/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/108198157/airport-rivalry-new-york-and-newark/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Edge Feeling His Way About Field|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/108212090/part-of-edge-feeling-his-way-about/|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=July 11, 1927|newspaper=The News|page=2|access-date=August 24, 2022|archive-date=August 24, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220824121518/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/108212090/part-of-edge-feeling-his-way-about/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=An Airport Needed|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/108212166/the-record/|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=July 14, 1927|newspaper=The Record|page=8|access-date=August 24, 2022|archive-date=March 25, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230325002720/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/108212166/an-airport-needed/|url-status=live}}</ref> including Newark's mayor, [[Thomas Lynch Raymond|Thomas Raymond]].<ref>{{cite news|title=North Jersey Busy Seeking Air Ports|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/108213121/north-jersey-busy-seeking-air-ports/|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|date=August 2, 1927|newspaper=[[Courier-Post]]|page=14|access-date=August 24, 2022|archive-date=August 24, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220824121519/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/108213121/north-jersey-busy-seeking-air-ports/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Despite these innovations, critics said the airport was poorly designed because there was no separation of incoming and outbound passengers and no thought given to future expansion, though this did not stop Newark from being the busiest commercial airport. [[United Airlines]], [[American Airlines]], [[Eastern Airlines]], and [[TWA]] signed 10-year leases with the airport that ended in 1938. Then they would pay on a month-to-month basis until [[LaGuardia Airport]] opened in December 1939;{{sfn|Holden|2009|p=71}}{{sfn|Holden|2009|p=47}} by the middle of 1940, all passenger airlines had left Newark, no longer making it the world's busiest airport.<ref name="laguardia">{{cite news |title=City Airport Opens Officially Tonight |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1939/12/01/archives/city-airport-opens-officially-tonight-first-regular-transport-due.html |work=The New York Times |date=December 1, 1939 |page=25 |access-date=August 31, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173920/https://www.nytimes.com/1939/12/01/archives/city-airport-opens-officially-tonight-first-regular-transport-due.html |archive-date=July 26, 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== World War II ===
When the United States joined [[World War II]] in late 1941, the field was closed to commercial aviation, and it was taken over by the [[United States Army]] for logistics operations.<ref>{{harvnb|Holden|2009|p=74}}: "As early as 1939, thousands of fighter planes were flown from manufacturing plants to Newark Airport where they were partially disassembled and shipped overseas on transport ships out of Port Newark. The air technical service command at Newark Airport averaged 40 flights and 50,000 pounds of air cargo daily. In all, over 51,000 aircraft were shipped from Newark during World War II, primarily to the European theater of operations. (NJAHOF.)"</ref> The growing importance of supplying the overseas air forces and the need for more efficient control of supply shipments led to the activation of the Atlantic (and the Pacific) Overseas Air Service Commands on 1 October 1943. With headquarters at Newark, New Jersey (and Oakland, California for the Pacific Command), the [[New Jersey World War II Army Airfields|Atlantic Overseas Air Service Command]] exercised control over the movement of Air Corps cargo through the ports of embarkation on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=l51f9ZnutCIC&pg=PA660 |title=The Army Air Forces in World War II: Europe, torch to pointblank, August 1942 to December 1943 |date=1948 |publisher=Office of Air Force History |isbn=978-0-912799-03-2 |language=en |quote=The control of rail and water transportation for all U.S. Army forces in the theater had been vested in the Services of Supply, but the Eighth Air Force, in keeping with the general AAF trend toward autonomy, tended to win an increasing responsibility for the reception and distribution of its own supplies.

In 1945, captured German aircraft brought from Europe on [[HMS Reaper (D82)|HMS ''Reaper'']] for evaluation under [[Operation Lusty]] were off-loaded at Newark, and then flown or shipped to [[Freeman Field]] in [[Indiana]], or [[Naval Air Station Patuxent River]] in [[Maryland]].

=== Reopened ===
The airlines returned to Newark in February 1946, when it was reopened to commercial service. In 1948, the city of Newark leased the airport to the Port of New York Authority, now the [[Port Authority of New York and New Jersey]]. As part of the lease agreement, Port Authority took operational control of the airport and began investing heavily in capital improvements, including new hangars, a new terminal, and runway 4/22.{{sfn|Holden|2009|pp=79–81}}

Much of Newark Airport's traffic shifted to Idlewild, today known as [[John F.

Underutilized in the 1970s, Newark expanded dramatically in the 1980s.

When People Express merged into [[Continental Airlines]] in 1987, operations (including corporate office operations) at the North Terminal were reduced, and the building was demolished to make way for cargo facilities in early 1997.

In October 2024, after extensive outreach to airport stakeholders, local community leaders and the public, PANYNJ unveiled the findings of the EWR Vision. Major elements of the EWR Vision Plan include:

* '''Terminal development:''' The plan calls for building a new, world-class international terminal to replace the current Terminal B, while enhancing Terminal C to improve the customer experience. Both would complement the airport’s award-winning new Terminal A that opened in January 2023, which could also see further expansion. The spacious, streamlined terminals would allow the airport to accommodate continued growth in passenger volume, while leaving space for further expansion as needed.

* '''Airside development:''' The plan envisions improving the airport’s operations with a more efficient and resilient taxiway network, while accommodating the industry trend toward larger aircraft. The new network would increase parking capacity and flexibility for aircraft, while creating redundancies to minimize delays during irregular operations. It incorporates additional deicing facilities, allowing aircraft to push off from gates more quickly. It would also include the industry’s latest safety standards, increasing straight taxiway segments and minimizing the need for crossings. 

* '''Landside development:''' The blueprint looks to transform the airport’s vehicular and multi-modal access, prioritizing efficiency and convenience for all users. Alongside terminal buildings, frontages would be expanded to meet industry standards, providing ample space for passenger waiting, loading and unloading while minimizing walking distances. AirTrain access would be simplified, while connectivity and amenities for cyclists, pedestrians, and service vehicles would be improved. The roadway network would also be streamlined to reduce decision points and separate major flows with independent circulation for each terminal.

Runway 11/29 is one of the three runways built during [[World War II]]. In 1952, Runways 1/19 and 6/24 were closed and a new Runway 4/22 (now 4R/22L) opened at a length of {{convert|7000|ft|m|abbr=on}}. After 1970, this runway was extended to {{convert|9800|ft|m}}, shortened for a while to {{convert|9300|ft|m|abbr=on}} and finally reaching its present length by 2000. Runway 4L/22R opened in 1970 at a length of {{convert|8200|ft|m|abbr=on}} and was extended to its current length by 2000.{{sfn|Holden|2009|p=75}}

The airport has more than 12 miles of 75-foot-wide taxiways. In 2014, the Port Authority completed a $97 million rehabilitation project of Runway 4L/22R while adding four new taxiways to reduce delays. Three of the new taxiways allow multiple planes to stage for departure at the end of the runway, reducing takeoff delays, while the other new taxiway will allow arriving planes to exit the runway faster and get to the gates quicker.<ref name="panynj1"/><ref>{{cite press release|title=New Taxiways At Newark Liberty International Airport Will Help Reduce Flights Delays As Part Of A Nearly $100 Million Project To Over Longest Runway|url=https://www.panynj.gov/port-authority/en/press-room/press-release-archives/2013_press_releases/new_taxiways_at_newarklibertyinternationalairportwillhelpreducef.html|publisher=Port Authority of New York and New Jersey|location=New York|access-date=September 22, 2022|archive-date=September 22, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220922132930/https://www.panynj.gov/port-authority/en/press-room/press-release-archives/2013_press_releases/new_taxiways_at_newarklibertyinternationalairportwillhelpreducef.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Terminal B ===
[[File:2013-05-03 17 11 46 Front of Terminal B at Newark Liberty International Airport.JPG|thumb|Terminal B viewed from the front]]
Terminal B, like the original Terminal A, was completed in 1973 and has four levels. Terminal B is the only passenger terminal directly operated by the Port Authority. It handles most foreign carriers, such as [[British Airways]], [[Lufthansa]], and [[Aer Lingus]], ultra-low cost regional operators like [[Spirit Airlines]], [[Sun Country Airlines]], and [[Allegiant Air]], and some of United's international arrivals.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Newark Airport Terminal B (EWR) |url=https://www.airport-ewr.com/newark-airport-terminal-b.php |access-date=February 8, 2023 |website=Newark Airport |archive-date=February 8, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230208214732/https://www.airport-ewr.com/newark-airport-terminal-b.php |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 1996, a new $120 million internationals arrival hall opened. The hall is the length of two football fields and features large skylights and windows allowing for natural light and panoramic views of flight activity and the Manhattan skyline. It features 56 immigration booths and seven baggage carrousels.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/01/24/nyregion/newark-airport-is-pressing-to-surpass-kennedy.html|title=Newark Airport Is Pressing to Surpass Kennedy|work=The New York Times|date=January 24, 1996|accessdate=September 26, 2024}}</ref> 

In 2006, Terminal B renovations began to increase capacity for departing passengers and passenger comfort. The renovations included expanding and updating the ticketing areas, building a new departure level for domestic flights and building a new arrivals hall.<ref>{{cite web |title=Building a Better Airport |url=http://www.newarkairport.com/CommutingTravel/airports/images/NewarkRedWeb.jpg |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071201055812/http://www.newarkairport.com/CommutingTravel/airports/images/NewarkRedWeb.jpg |archive-date=December 1, 2007 |access-date=June 28, 2013 |publisher=Newark Airport}}</ref> In January 2012, Port Authority executive director [[Patrick Foye]] said $350 million would be spent on Terminal B, addressing complaints by passengers that they cannot move freely. The renovations enhanced the terminal's "cathedral-like layout" and made the terminal more cohesive while adding more than {{convert|1,000,000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} of usable space.<ref name="Terminal B Renovation">{{cite web |last=Richards |first=Jodi |date=June 2014 |title=Top-To-Bottom Renovations Breathe New Life Into Newark Liberty |url=https://airportimprovement.com/article/top-bottom-renovations-breathe-new-life-newark-liberty |access-date=December 4, 2020 |work=Airport Improvement |archive-date=July 23, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210723231658/https://airportimprovement.com/article/top-bottom-renovations-breathe-new-life-newark-liberty |url-status=live }}</ref> Further developments were made to Terminal B when the Port Authority installed new [[LED]] fixtures in 2014.
